Pattern formation originating in an instable spot. cMFMs support travelling waves that underlie EEG signals; but also spots of localized high firing activity, which have been linked to models of working memory. These spots can become instable and pattern cortex with intricate structures, such as the labyrinthine one shown here. Red color indicates high activity, blue low. The original spot is still visible in the center.
